One page on Wikipedia is called "Toe Jam & Earl". Another page is called "ToeJam and Earl" with the word "and" instead of the ampersand. However, judging from the offical site the game is actually called "ToeJam & Earl", meaning neither name is exactly right. More importantly, I think these pages should be merged.
Can the three games possibly have their own wiki pages? This will allow more information on each game to be included...I'll add information to them, but in their current states it's not viable to...
I agree, the three games should each have their own page. Even if they are left as stubs, it will encourage people to expand them.-- Mysterious Bob 14:29, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
I've made a page for the second game in the series, as its the only one I own. I'll update it further in a few days. I'll try to include as much information about it as possible. This is my first ever edit/article so It might be a bit messy or have incorrect grammar, so feel free to change it. Jamsoup 11th April 07
The result of the debate was PAGE MOVED to correct title. - GTBacchus( talk) 14:01, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

Some guy just removed the Wii as a platform. He said "Only physical copies count". Was this vandalism or the truth. I have seen Super Mario 64 with Wii under it. For now I will keep it added.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Starmenclock ( talk • contribs)
Phyisicaly data on a Nintendo Wii is a actual atom so it does count.
I agree with Decept404's rant. When I look at the "Platform(s)" field of an Infobox, I want to know "Which platforms does this game run on?" I don't care about its "physical release".

Why does toejam redirect here? And why isn't there a disambiguation page for toejam? They should have an article for it; it's the black stuff that collects under one's nails. Ratso 23:51, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
Though I do think it's bizzare to direct here and not have disambig.It also depends on the color of the sock fabric
Accidentally wrote this in Talk:ToeJam_and_Earl due to the redirect. Anyway, this article is very confused. The introductory paragraphs describe information pertaining specifically to the first ToeJam and Earl game, and then the article moves on to tautologically discuss the first game in its own section, then the second and third games. The infobox also only lists information about the first game, and the other games remain largely ignored in this sense. Is this article about the series or about the first game or about the two titular characters? Perhaps we should have one article per game and another article listing the characters and giving descriptions. -- Reinhart 01:37, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
Not that I'm badmouthing SEGA but I want someone to add a toejam article in another context (sorry)
Nitpicking, but in what game ISN'T music a part of the concept? Slightly rewriting that paragraph-- Decept404 20:57, 3 January 2007 (UTC) yes especially if it's a classic game.
I've removed this:
Suggesting it's Christmas is original research. Santa Claus is not an enemy. Opening gifts is not the only way to find out what's in them. The statement about the Wii release might be true but needs a source and needs to be not tied to the unsourced statement that it's Christmas. Angela . 21:01, 14 January 2007 (UTC) I disagree, afterall it looks just like Christmas,and Santa Claus is waaaay not an enemy.
Christmas aside, I think it should be noted in the article that if you manage to sneak up on Santa and touch him, without him noticing and rocket-packing away, he will drop several presents for you (between 2 and 5 usually). -- Trevc63 01:13, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
I think it would be cool if we could add some to the detail of the point system, perhaps how many points are awarded per present opened, map square revealed, phone picked up, etc. Also, it would be cool to have the point thresholds at which each of the ranks are attained. -- Trevc63 21:48, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
I merged all the info in the article regarding earthlings and did a little cleanup, but I think it would be cool to add the "good" earthlings such as the Carrot Man and add info regarding how many tomatoes it takes to kill each one and how much the "good" ones charge for their services. Also, perhaps it would be better to organize them in tables. -- Trevc63 21:49, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
Image:Toe Jam & Earl.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

I have placed the article on hold until these issues have been addressed. As you fix them, put "Done" under each one, or an explanation if you don't feel it needs to be changed. The article will be on hold for seven days or until all issues are addressed. Good work on the article! — Levi van Tine ( t – c) 11:45, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
RE: this and similar edits. Firstly, the source does not say anything about a poll and indeed says very little at all. Secondly there is little indication that genesispoll.com is a reliable source and seems at best to a primary source. It seems that thus far no reliable secondary source (at least English language) has cared to comment upon the game's supposed rerelease. This should be left out until there is reliably sourced information of some actual substance available. bridies ( talk) 10:16, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
Just a note from the original author of this page...I'm extraordinarily pleased to see it featured on the front page of the site, and I'm pleased to see that the community here has taken what I originally wrote nearly five years ago and embraced it, improving it to an extent that it qualifies for such a high honor. Congratulations to all involved. Jam on, Wikipedians! - Erbo ( talk) 00:56, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
Given that this is a featured article and on the Wikipedia front page, I'm concerned about these two sentences in the "legacy" section:
There also been demand from fans for ToeJam & Earl to appear as playable characters in the upcoming Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing, which is again met with licensing issues. Greg, posting on the Sega forums under the pseudonym 'Big Earl', has responded to this and is in talks with Sega about the possibility of including them as downloadable content, as well as ToeJam & Earl on XBLA. [1]
The first sentence is unsourced. The second has a forum post as its source, but I don't see how we're supposed to be able to verify that it is written by the person it is attributed to. Cordless Larry ( talk) 13:57, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
No discussion of the name ToeJam? In British English slang, at least in the Midlands, 'toe jam' is the gunk you get between your toes if you haven't washed them often enough (a mixture of dead skin, sock fluff and other oomska, I guess). Not sure if it's a phrase used in the US at all. Just to date me, I was using the phrase in the early 70s. 86.134.26.104 ( talk) 09:16, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
I and several of my friends recall a cartoon adaptation of Toejam & Earl, or a program that was the inspiration for the game. Unfortunately, my ability to locate info on the web concerning it is very limited. If one of the more info-savvy wikigurus could find anything, I'm sure this article (or another in the TJ&E franchise) will benefit from it. Unfortunately, I can't really pin down when I watched it year-wise, so I can't give any timeframe for when the program was aired, nor a channel on which it was shown. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vaeos ( talk • contribs) 04:24, 14 September 2011 (UTC)
Per this discussion, the size of the cartridge is not likely verifiable against a reliable source. It's questionable whether this technical detail should be in the infobox, but at least please provide a reliable source for the cartridge size before adding it back in. bridies ( talk) 09:46, 29 November 2011 (UTC)
